The Virginia Report hits the
nail on the head in the following:
A gentleman signing himself Tax
payer, writes to the Enterprise of
this morning and states his objec-
tions to the Industrial School bill
and the House Of Refuge bill, Doth
pending in the Legislature, in
concise and able manner, and in
locking horns with him we rscog-
nize foe worthy any good mans
pen.
We favor the Industrial School
bill if it is intended to found a
really industrial institution.
Men enter upon the labors of
others and profit by their expert
ence. The present generation is
indebted to past generations for
many sacrifices. If past genera
lions had pursued the Siluriaa and
safe 10 per cent. policy indicated
by Taxpayer the world would never
have emerged out of the dark ages
but would have been swallowed up
In its own selfishness.
Has Taxpayer ever reckoned the
cost of the maintenance of the Ne
vada State Prison per year? Does
he for a moment imagine that every
dollar invested in its maintenance
is q dollar INVESTED in nest eggs
that will unerringly hatch more
crime? Does he ever imagine that
the very Judge who sentences a
criminal to the penitentiary to re-
form him will say when that person
gets out, Look out for him, he is re
formed"
We believe we owe the rising
generation debt, and it ought not
to be paid with a penitentiary SEN
tence.
We earnestly believe we should
invest more in industrial schools
and less In prisons, and if we do in
vest more in industrial schools we
believe we will have less occasion
to invest in prisons. Surely, if
anything is worth few thousand
dollars, the saving of our children
from lives of crime ought to be.

Another English fad" is said
to be taking hold in New York
among the Anglo-maniacs In society
circles. This is what is termed
.'Platonie friendship" and is in
dulged in without reference to do
nestle ties. Society women who
are married, writes a New Yorker,
are now disposed to regard their
lives as incomplete unless they
have secured the intelligent admir-
atien of some one of their friends.
If he 10 a man of ability, with some
reputation as a speaker, writer, or a
statesman, the situation is all the
more interesting. Then if dinner
giyers want to secure the presence
of this lion it is engineered by in
viting the lady to whom he is de-
voted. And it is seldom this de-
vice falls short of its object. An
Englishwoman who is new visiting
here said recently that if she
wanted a prominent Member of
Parliament present at one of her
dinners, she neverfailed toinvite the
one to whom he was paying faithful
platonic attention at the time.
And the same rule seems to be i'm
pcratiye here.

HOW TO EAT WISELY.

AS universal rule in health, and
with very rare exception in disease,
that is best to be eaten which the APP
petite Graves OF the taste relishes. Per-
sons rarely err in the quality of food
eaten; natures instincts are the wisest
regulators in this respect. The great
sources of mischief from eating are
three-quantity, frequency, rapidity-
and from these come the horrible dys-
pepsias, which make Of human life q
burden, torture, q living death. By
eating fast, the stomach, like bottle
being filled through a funnel, is full
and overlooking before we know it.
But the most important reason is, the
food is swallowed before time has been
allowed to divide it in sufficiently small
pieces with the teeth; for, like ice in a
tumbler of water, the smaller The bits
are, the sooner are they dissolved. It
has been seen with the naked eye that
if solid food has been cut up in pieces
small as half a pea, it digests almost as
soon without being chewed at all, as if
it had been we'll masticated. The best
plan, therefore, is for all persons to thus
commute their food; for, even if it is
we'll chewed, the communion is no in
jury, while it is OF great Importance in
case of hurry, forgetfulness or bad teeth.
Cheerful conversation prevents rapid
eating. It requires about five hours
for q common meal to dissolve and BASS
out of the stomach, during which time
this organ is necessarily at work, when
it must have repose, as any other
muscle or sets of muscles, after such o
length of effort. Hence persons should
not eat within less than five-hours' in
terval. The heart itself is at rest more
than one-third of the time. The brain
perishes without repose. Never force
food upon the stomach. All are tired
when night comes. Every muscle of
the body is weary and looks to the bed j;
but just as we lie down to rest every
other part of the body, if we, by q
hearty meal, give the stomach five
hours work, which in it's weak state re-
quires a much longer time to perform
than at an earlier hour of the day, it is

like imposing upon a servant full
days labor just at the close OF q hard
DAYS work. Hence the unwisdom OF
eating hearty late in the day or even
ing; and no wonder it has cost many
man his life. Always breakfast before
work or exercise. No laborers or active
persons should eat an atom later than
shutdown, and then it should not be
over half the midday meal. Persons OF
sedentary habits or who are at all all
ing, should take absolutely nothing Tor
supper beyond single piece OF cold
stale bread and butter u q ship biscuit,
with single cup of warm drink. ouch
supper will always give better sleep
and prepare for heartier breakfast,
with the advantage Of having the exer'
else of the whole day to grind it up and
extract its nutriment. Never eat with
ont an inclination. journal OF

Always keep a cash account. Make

to interpret it, His rage wss beyond

thick with his attractions of the Third
Commandment. Suddenly the strains
from a hand-organ fell upon his ear.
Looking down the stairs leading to the
street, he saw that the concert was
given by son Of Italy, with a monkey
as an additional attraction. With a
bound down the steps he reached the
sidewalk; shaking his fist in the
Italians face, with the other hand he
drew the monkey back to his master.
The musician turned pale; the monkey
screamed; men, women, and children
stopped to learn what the row was all

out to the amazed and trembling or.

CAL1EURsIA,s FUTURE,

AS for the future of California, I
don't believe the most sanguine man
has yet dared picture it's splendor.
Bear in mind, still insist that all this
Los Angeles country is too abs1lrdIy
high-priced SO far as land is concerned;
for you can get homes in Arizona or in
Southern California at about one-fif-
teenth the figure, but in the course of
time every foot Of ground from the
Sierras to the sea will be held as high
as is the land in and about Los Angeles
and San Diego. This is to be the
Palestine, the land of milk and honey,
the holy land. AS surely as the sun
rises the people will drift and crowd
and back up against this great sea,
where they can go no further, till Cali
fornia is as full as ever was populous
Palestine when her armies were num-
bered by hundreds Of thousands. Fox
all the fruits, all the fine things to eat,
or to wear, or to look upon that Jerusa-
lem or Damascus knew, are in Los
Angeles and San Diego.
Oranges in Jerusalem? No. The
orange is a contribution from China,
much as the ignorant "hoodlums" may
be surprised or displeased to hear it.
The orange was first brought by Portu-
guese merchants from China and
planted in Portugal. 1t spread from
there to Spain and Italy, where it is
still known by the name of Tortugalo.
You rarely hear an orange called by
any other name than Portugalo either
in Spain OF Italy, and even among our
selves there is a newer importation OF
this family from China called the Man.

Ailrain with his trainer and few
friends crossed the channel in a Do
yer boat Kilrain was not recognized
at any part OF the journey, probably
owing to the change IN his appear
ance which shaving off his heavy

trainer crossed Thursday. The sea
on that day was exceedingly rough
and Smith suffered severely from sea-
sickness. He was obliged to spend
The night in Calais and did not reach

The Hotel d'Albean in Rowen, while
Kilrain had quarters at a hostelry
thirty yards away. On Saturday both
men met and shook hands. 1t was
arranged that the steamer should be
ready opposite the hotel to-day to
